I have been carrying knives my whole life, I believe super steels are overrated. I have never been disappointed with Bucks 420, it's served me very well for 30 years.
Kinda late here, but I couldn't agree more. I've owned more styles, profiles & steel types than I can recall, from most manufacturers. Bucks 420 hc is my all time go to favorite.
My first knife was a buck 119 as a Christmas gift in 1972. I carry the 110 slimline as an edc and treasure many other models. Knife companies come and go but buck is an American legend.
The Buck 110/112 is to pocket knives what the 1911 is to handguns, a timeless, reliable, proven design that needs no improvement. I got my first 112 in December of 1987, and I still have it in my collection. Through the years I’ve been able to find other older 110/112 with and without finger grooves, and now I have a very good collection of old and new, as well as other models, and I enjoy each and every one.
(1)- Buck 101,fixed blade 110. (2)-Buck 110 lock back folder. (3)- Buck 'Ranger",112 lock back folder (4) Buck 110 Slim,pocket clipped, lock back folding knife. These are my Buck knives so far,that I am proud to own, Maori boy Kiwi,from New Zealand,good knives for our Outdoors, Kiora.(Greetings)
I own a few Buck knives and I finally found a good use for that nylon Chinese made 110 sheath. It makes a good stealthy way to carry a spare magazine for my pocket gun, a Ruger LCP .380. Another nice aspect of the Buck Custom shop is that once you get a handgun with grips you like it is easier to pair it with a similarly handled knife (for those of us who get pleasure from such things). A stainless revolver with Buffalo horn grips pairs real well with a 110 with nickel silver bolsters and Buffalo horn handles, for example.
I bought mine in 1978 on the east coast of the US. The angles are less rounded than those of the oldest in the video. It is kept in perfect condition that I regularly maintained.
Great video. I started a small knife collection few years ago. Bought a PM 2, BM 940, 3Recons etc. Then recently I bought the 2019 110. Black African Ebony handles, real nice. Just ordered the 500 Duke.
My first knife was a Buck Personal, in 1967... Our family gun club had a dealer that got them for $27... it included our name engraved on the handle (not a bad thing, as about 20 of us had the same knife, nice to get your knife back if dropped or used in a group gut)... Since I only use it for game, I have never had to sharpen it... just a little touch up on crock sticks... it never leaves my hunting coat (until i strap it on the hunting belt)... yes, I am a collector now, with many knives but, like a woman, there is only one first...
I use a 112 ranger for cleaning deer, I just like a smaller blade. Best knives I've ever owned, I use a Greber for my every day carry, but always keep a 112 in my truck and when I'm in the woods.
I bought mine in 1986 the year I graduated high school. I did maintenance work and fished and camped a lot. This knife has been through so much, but you wouldn't know it by looking at it. Still locks up tight as can be. No blade play though it has bantoned a lot of fire wood. But I take polish to it it can look almost new. It's a shame time has kinda passed it by for edc. People have gotten so soft. "It's to heavy." Stop being such a woos. Is a few ounces really going to wear you out? Come on people. Stop being such wimps. It doesn't open with one hand. Well I can see how that is a issue for someone with just one hand. But for most folks, is this such a big deal? It is sad what people have become over time.
I have used a Buck. knife for years. I was very young when I got my first one where get loose. My first Book is just as tight as it was the day I bought It I will always use buck knives.
I bought my first Buck knife for 20 dollars in the late 70's when I was a young teenager!!! Every 5 or 6 year I'll clean it and it looks like the first day I bought it!
I absolutely love the customized 110 with elk/deer scales, niquel bolsters and mirror polished finish! 😍 What a pity that they don't ship customized 110s to Europe! 😓
They do, it requires just a little bit more work. Drop them an email and they make it happen if you are in posession of a credit card. As an Alternative you can use a freight forwarder. I recently ordered a custom buck that way...
I'm British got around 100 Spydercos but I still love this knife just bought a new one had a chairman's model with brown pouch but this one I like the best
There is a huge bias in the "knife community" these days towards Every Day Carry. Redditors, forumites etc. They all have the same generic requirements: super steel, one handed open/close, pocket clip, futuristic look etc. They are sterile collectors of knives, at most the knives are used for opening Funko Pop boxes. The 110 is perhaps the perfect folding knife for the most important task in human history - processing game. Because of that, the Auto version in particular is great for self defense as well. Neither of those uses is something the EDC person typically envisions themselves needing a knife for, so the 110 has a reputation as too heavy and fuddy. I couldn't be happier with my 110 Auto. With some stropping the aggressively hollow ground and distally tapered blade is scalpel sharp, the tip is ANGRY sharp. Note that you do not get that aggressive of a grind in the 110 Slim Select. Not only do you not want a big overbuilt blade when processing game, it is actually counterproductive. I have many knives, only a few get and stay as sharp as my 110, generally larger, very thin flat ground carbon steel fixed blades in classic patterns... not coincidentally patterns that originated in the frontier where knives were used daily for processing meat and game. One might ask why not carry a fixed blade if your intended use is hunting, but I find even in the belt sheath the 110 is much handier, and it's a product of its time - in the 1960s when the 110 was developed you might have kept your shotgun or deer rifle in your truck or school locker during hunting season and gone out on a whim after work/class. People out working in areas where game was likely to be (farms, forests etc) might take advantage of targets of opportunity, in or out of season... Much more convenient to not carry around a fixed blade all day. The 110 is not the ideal EDC pocket knife if the extent of your knife usage is cutting open boxes at your retail job... big surprise? If that's the case there are plastic jars full of $1 Coastals and everything above that in price and quality is a novelty. Try the 112 Slim Select, you still get Made in the USA and the Lifetime Warranty and it's under $30 with a pocket clip. For that reason I got one for my wife and she loves it. It's sharp!
Also, the fact that you bought 4 of these should tell people that it's a great value. I own about 14 or so and I want more. They are hands down the best value on the planet and the warranty is unmatched. I will pass my collection on to my son when I die. He will in turn pass them on to his child and I cannot be happier with Buck Knives.
Great video!!!! I have ordered two custom 110s, and I am awaiting the second order to arrive. I have quite a few of the production 110s, and I am pondering purchasing an automatic 110.
My only complaint of a Buck folder for hunting is it gets damn slippery when your hands get bloody. I wish the scales had more texture. For EDC it is too heavy for my liking. It is a tank and if I had only one knife for everything from hunting, EDC, craftsmen chores, camping etc then it would be a Buck 110. But for each task mentioned above there are better knives in each category. My old Buck just sits in the closet now.
It s no better steel for hunting then that 420 whit the wright heat treatment the ease of fields sharpening it s great. Use a pice of ceramic u get u r knife shaving sharp in 30 seconds. And a hunter know if u field undress a deer or any animal u need to touch up u r blade. I will never use anything else but a buck 110 for hunting yes it s not a fancy knife yes u need 2 hands to open it yes it a a heavy folder but IT work s better then any other folder out there I just can t get over the fact that u can sharpen the knife easy and it will hold the edge I just love that fact
I have had knives since being a kid. I had a 110 that i sadly lost, or misplaced between moves. Have been getting back to carrying a knife daily, a 112.
Any biker worth his salt can one hand open a Buck knife! ;) I had a 110FG in the early 90s, thought it was kinda ugly, but it was a beast. A friend showed me his 112 at the time, and I immediately knew that was a nicer model. It can be used for pocket carry even. My favorite folder is the EKA 88 with rubber grip. It uses 12C28 with a great heat treat, which is as you say more important than the steel type.
Thanks for a very Informative vid on the Buck 110, I was keen to purchase one the first time I saw it, an old two dot model at a flea market in NYC for $17.. now I own and carry a bunch of different 110's.. I do own the brown leather sheath but unfortunately it has the flat belt loop and it did end up tarnishing the bolsters (this could have been due to the humid environment I was using it in at the time) but it doesn't appear to be made in the USA. I also own a black sheath that has the older style belt loop with a chevy logo stamped on the front.. overall these are great working knives that are a fantastic design from a company with a rich history, what more could you want.. also love the comparison between the 110 and the Model 70 ~ perfect
I just picked up the buck 110 automatic they Went back to the original black ebony African wood , They’re about $190 I found the company selling them for 119 so I bought it, always wanted one my mom bought my dad one for years ago he still carries it
I'm a huge fan of the Buck 110 ... but the knife snob in me really looks down on the 420HC, although it is by far the best 420HC on the market.... Then Buck released the 110 pro in CPM-S30V, & now do a CPM-S35VN version for DLT, and what I consider the Ultimate Buck 110, which is in CPM-20CV, which is basically the same thing as Bohler-Uddeholm M390 & Carpenter's 204P. The ultimate stainless steel, in the ultimate package and all for under $100. Anyone would be crazy not to get a Buck 110 in 20CV for just about any use
Hey - Dog of the Desert! How do you know all those East Oakland scooter trash Buck 110 techniques? Did you used to ride a Shovelhead to the Sunol Temple Bar? Keep on rockin' in a free world, man!
Note that the standard 110 Auto with brass bolsters and Ebony handles does come with the USA made sheath, and the grind and sharpening does seem more on par with the Custom Shop knives than standard production. So at least right now it seems like they are treating the 110 Autos more like Custom Shop knives than production folders you get in a blister package at Walmart. Which makes sense as they are $100 more with the auto feature!
When I tell kids today that I carried one of these in Highschool there eyes get huge. in the 70s-80s every cop, paramedic logger etc had one of these on their belt.
Modern folding knives are no good for field processing, they have too many crevices for blood and guts to get stuck in. Sometimes simple is just better! If you want more modern check out the new 110 Slim, it's simple and great!
I have quite a few knives in my collection but do not have a buck. I have Old Timer, Uncle Henry and John Primble lockbacks. So my first Buck 110 may very well be a custom shop order.
If you got that 110 in the eighties, you are easy on the tool. I have 6 of them, blades ground tob shit, since then. I sometimes wonder if I could get new blades .. I would love to see Buck experiment, with tungsten, titanium, and higher grades of stainless steel bolsters on the 110 design.
Bucks's not generally known for autos. I didn't even know they existed save a few days ago. Clean profile, tight as a drum. Classy nod to the workhorse which if you don't own you ain't a real man. Little pricey, yes. But I'm thinking about surprising my wife with one next X-mas. Kidding? Little stocking-stuffer.
The Buck 110 is also one of the most copied knife designs. From quality brands like Uncle Henry/Schrade to cheap Pakistan and Chinese copies. It has been duplicated over and over.
So I own 2 buck 110 models and 1 buck 112 customized w/5160 steel. I really like them, but I wanted your thoughts of the Buck 110Lt? I was concerned considering the Blade play in the knife blade, but it’s very little. When I called buck I spoke to and individual in their repair shop to ask about them. He stated in some ways their better than the original! He stated that of all of them to date made he’s only seen a couple come back because of real damage. He said the play is nothing to worry about!? What’s your thoughts about this? Thanks!
Mountain hunters, especially backpack hunters go to extremes to save weight. You can save 4 oz just by going to the Buck 110 LT knife. I haven't tried it but that's a 4 oz savings right there. Knives like the Benchmade Altitude are just 1.7 oz. They cost more for sure but that's a big weight savings. Or a $10 Mora fixed blade that is 2.7 oz. The point isn't that 5 oz is going to ruin your hunt but if you don't pay attention to this stuff, you end up with 60 lb pack instead of a 40 lb pack. It's a good review though. Like your stuff. @@desertdogoutdoors1113
Will buck replace the blade on my buck 110 .it has been sharpen so much that it has be come very thin .what do you think it would cost me to have it replace.
@@rickeybullington68 You need to go on their site and click on forever warranty. Print out a sheet. Then fill it out. Finally put the form and knife in a padded envelope and mail.
Buck Factory sharpens them at 15. I've worked mine a bit steeper over time, I hand sharpen so I can't say to what, but it's probably near 20 or something now.
Mustard Of Puppets Thank you very much I was wondering about that for when it needs sharpening it probably never will because I strop my knives But it’s nice to know just in case
@@shaneskinner5385 I used to say the same thing, but someday you'll use it rough and have to do a bit of shaping, me it was because I broke a tiny bit off the tip like maybe 1/16th" and had to get it back to a nice point. but ya the beauty of 420HC is 99% of the time just a couple minutes on a strop or a couple passes on ceramic will do just fine.
I heard Chuck Buck say once that BUCK Knives are sharpened at 16degrees...but mine checked out between 15 and 18 out of the package...a knife is a personal thing...I don't think the angle is as important as the satisfaction of the person wielding the blade.

I think we can all agree that the Buck 110 is the most beautiful folder ever created..
ive been carrying a 110 on my hip every day of my life since 1976. it has been the most useful tool i have ever owned.
Oh yeah! 😎🤘🏻👌🏻
I have been carrying knives my whole life, I believe super steels are overrated. I have never been disappointed with Bucks 420, it's served me very well for 30 years.
Buck's heat treat process is a step above the rest.
Kinda late here, but I couldn't agree more. I've owned more styles, profiles & steel types than I can recall, from most manufacturers. Bucks 420 hc is my all time go to favorite.

Have carried the same buck 110 for over 30 years. Great knife!! Excellent review.

You have what they call a 2 dot buck.. Should be stamped like this on the blade -buck- just like that but with dots

I just returned my ebc buck 110 knife for this classic the other one had to much blade play for me wanted good quality
you should teach people how to be tough like you and not a "woos" you should be a an army advisor and question why Kevlar is used over steel.

I have quite a few knives in my collection but do not have a buck. I have Old Timer, Uncle Henry and John Primble lockbacks. So my first Buck 110 may very well be a custom shop order.
go for it, you won't regret it
If you got that 110 in the eighties, you are easy on the tool. I have 6 of them, blades ground tob shit, since then. I sometimes wonder if I could get new blades ..
I would love to see Buck experiment, with tungsten, titanium, and higher grades of stainless steel bolsters on the 110 design.
Michael Mercier you can have the blades replaced by Buck for $10 each.
You can open the standard 110 one-handed.
I know I can... I will not carry a knife that I cant open one handed...
@@nickdannunzio7683 why?
Bucks's not generally known for autos. I didn't even know they existed save a few days ago. Clean profile, tight as a drum. Classy nod to the workhorse which if you don't own you ain't a real man. Little pricey, yes. But I'm thinking about surprising my wife with one next X-mas. Kidding? Little stocking-stuffer.
Late to the party here posting in 2020 but I hope you did not clean off the patina on those bucks. Gives them personality!
I think the 420HC is a great fit for this knife. Can make a nice sharp edge pretty easily. Easy to maintain.
even easier to snap the blade in two
@@carmineredd1198 you'd have to be really rough to do that.
Just good job - about your vid and about this knife.
Get the kwik thumb stud for buck 110. Makes 1 hand open so easy
my old Schrade+ 125ot didn't need a thumb stud
Buck. enough said.
Good review the best i see so far
I both a 110 and a 112 (no sheath)
I have carried a Buck 501 as a pocket knife since my ex- wife gave it to me for my birthday in 1976 , it's a perfect pocket knife
The Buck 110 is also one of the most copied knife designs. From quality brands like Uncle Henry/Schrade to cheap Pakistan and Chinese copies.
It has been duplicated over and over.
Great review!
Te he he🤪 He said butt hole.
Great eye candy! I keep mine on me its like part of my body lol. Amazing all around knife. Thanks!
The Greatest 👍🏻
So I own 2 buck 110 models and 1 buck 112 customized w/5160 steel.
I really like them, but I wanted your thoughts of the Buck 110Lt? I was concerned considering the Blade play in the knife blade, but it’s very little. When I called buck I spoke to and individual in their repair shop to ask about them. He stated in some ways their better than the original! He stated that of all of them to date made he’s only seen a couple come back because of real damage. He said the play is nothing to worry about!? What’s your thoughts about this?
Thanks!
Just got the 420hc should i go ahead and buy the s30v?
Go for it. You can never have too many!
Ok, I love the Buck 110 too and yeah, it practical enough for some hunting but what about the weight? It's a tank. Not practical for mountain hunts.
Are you seriously trying to claim that a 7oz knife that does everything is too heavy?????? You sound like a serious "mountain hunter" bro.
Mountain hunters, especially backpack hunters go to extremes to save weight. You can save 4 oz just by going to the Buck 110 LT knife. I haven't tried it but that's a 4 oz savings right there. Knives like the Benchmade Altitude are just 1.7 oz. They cost more for sure but that's a big weight savings. Or a $10 Mora fixed blade that is 2.7 oz. The point isn't that 5 oz is going to ruin your hunt but if you don't pay attention to this stuff, you end up with 60 lb pack instead of a 40 lb pack. It's a good review though. Like your stuff.
@@desertdogoutdoors1113
Will buck replace the blade on my buck 110 .it has been sharpen so much that it has be come very thin .what do you think it would cost me to have it replace.
It only costs about $10 for buck to change the blade. I have done it a few times.
@@HowardTDuck-tv8le can you tell me how to get this done through buck knife s .
@@rickeybullington68 You need to go on their site and click on forever warranty. Print out a sheet. Then fill it out. Finally put the form and knife in a padded envelope and mail.
@@HowardTDuck-tv8le thank you so much and be safe out their .
@@rickeybullington68No problem buddy. Take care.
I skimmed through the vid, so sorry if you already said this, but what type of handle is on the darkest wood knife? is that ebony?
hell yeah! damn good review. love my 110 :)
"Uncle randy approves this message"
Love me some Uncle Randy. He's my alter ego.
Do the leather sheath clips fit through molle webbing? I’m looking for a carry option that isn’t my belt.
They have belt loops, not clips.
You prefer the clip point over the drop point?
Super Star 💫
Love em, good review. To bad they dont custom to Europe
👌
9:52 "Buck Rogers" lol
"Especially while coring out the butthole of a deer..." wtf lol
Did you see guy's comment saying he had it on autoplay and woke up to hearing that😂😂
Why is a lock back knife better than other lock methods?
strength and safety.
Can you use oliveoil voor the knives?.
Mr Loco I would avoid vegetable oils of any variety. Mineral oil would be perfectly safe, as it won’t turn rancid or become gummy.
What state do they make this knife?
Idaho
Dude...just cost me $300 😎🤘🏻
Does anybody know what angle to sharpen the 110
Buck Factory sharpens them at 15. I've worked mine a bit steeper over time, I hand sharpen so I can't say to what, but it's probably near 20 or something now.
Mustard Of Puppets Thank you very much I was wondering about that for when it needs sharpening it probably never will because I strop my knives But it’s nice to know just in case
@@shaneskinner5385 I used to say the same thing, but someday you'll use it rough and have to do a bit of shaping, me it was because I broke a tiny bit off the tip like maybe 1/16th" and had to get it back to a nice point. but ya the beauty of 420HC is 99% of the time just a couple minutes on a strop or a couple passes on ceramic will do just fine.
The Buck factory puts 15 degrees on each side of the 110. Most folks resharpen on a standard 20* sharpener to make things easier.
I heard Chuck Buck say once that BUCK Knives are sharpened at 16degrees...but mine checked out between 15 and 18 out of the package...a knife is a personal thing...I don't think the angle is as important as the satisfaction of the person wielding the blade.
267€ at only shop in my state. Auto 😢
What?... No Buck 110 LT?... Incomplete until you get one of these lightweight beauties
